Talk:Kurds in Hebron

Merger proposal

I propose Kurds in Hebron be merged into Kurds in Palestine. The Palestine-wide article isn't large and can easily accomadate some extra information from Hebron. Note these are not actually Kurdish speakers - but a lineage claim going back some 900 years that is shared by many Palestinian (and Jordanian) groups. The Palestine-wide article could contain coverage of each sub-region/city with a significant claimed Kurdish origin population.Icewhiz (talk) 12:09, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Self-identified Palestinian Kurds outside of Hebron are really few (although Kurds been Arabized along with Mamluks-Ottomans), the Kurds of Hebron held on to their identity (proud of their origin) because they associate themselves with the Saladin & they are the offspring of a historical army (All humans like powerful identities), outside of Hebron the majority of Palestinians identify with prominent Arab tribes, next popular identity is the biblical Canaanites & to a lesser extent Hebrews or Egyptians. So when we talk Self-identified Kurds in Palestine its really Hebron.

I don't oppose a merger though, if you think it will help...As long as you don't get me involved in some Israeli-Palestinian politics, last thing I need! Tiwahi (talk) 20:46, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed Hebron is the major cluster in the West Bank which is why I am proposing a merge. I do not think that this should be an I/P hotzone.Icewhiz (talk) 20:58, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
